Clinical Experience & Focus
Associate Professor Prashant Tibrewal is a Senior Consultant Psychiatrist with over two decades of experience, with particular expertise in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, binge-eating disorders, and neuromodulation therapies including repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for treatment-resistant depression.
He completed his Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Psychiatry before specialist training in Australia, becoming a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (FRANZCP), and holds a Master of Health Management from the University of New South Wales.
His approach starts with careful diagnostic assessment, combining biological, psychological and social treatment where indicated — including rTMS — developed in consultation with patients, families and other treating professionals.
Alongside private practice, Prashant holds senior leadership roles in South Australia's public mental health system, managing complex presentations and developing new models of care.
He also works in the medico-legal space as an Accredited Whole Person Impairment Assessor for ReturnToWorkSA and an Independent Medical Advisor to the South Australian Employment Tribunal.
Prashant is an Associate Professor (Clinical) at the University of Adelaide and is actively involved in undergraduate medical education. In addition, he has a longstanding commitment to teaching and mentoring junior doctors and psychiatry trainees through his clinical roles within South Australia's public mental health service. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, reflecting his ongoing commitment to advancing psychiatric practice through research, innovation and education.
Prashant recognises reaching out is often the hardest part — and sees his role, from that point, as making the path forward clear.
